What do you want to be done about gas prices? Price controls?
He wants windfall profit taxes on a growth to 2.8% in profit. The price will be passed to us, but he hears Clinton say windfall profit tax used to cut the Federal gas tax and rises to the bait like a trout to a fly.

Obama is now pushing Clinton's windfall tax very heavily in Nc right now. He too expects his followers to be too ingnorant to realize that the windfall tax would raise gasoline prices. Unlike Clinton, Obama has not yet realized that he can offer to cut the Federal taxes on gasoline by making the oil companies collect the money and thus look good due to the ignorance of his followers.
